[Eug-lug] deal at Best Buy on Toshiba notebook $249

[Ben Barrett]

I am glad they're finally using AMD chips in their latest round... my
biggest complaint is that they aappear to be limiting the
screens they're shipping with these puppies... 1280x800, not like the
1680x1050 you can get with the 1505/6400 or the 1920x1200 you can get
with the high-end unit (see dell small biz).  Yes, all those pixels in a 15"
package!  And why can't Apple seem to catch up??
I know some graphics folks who'd nearly give up an appendage in exchange for
more portable pixels :)

I don't see mention of firewire on their tech specs either, but I did not
dig into their PDF...
